What would be Your advice to someone who has fell off? Get back on, m8. That's it. Get up, take a step, stretch, move, go for a walk, dance, lift something .... you'll soon begin to feel like doing it if it feels good. I might tell them to stop thinking that they need to WORK out or to TRAIN or to prove anything. It's your fitness journey to enjoy. It's not your job. If it's toil, if it's a chore, if it's work, if it's a 'requirement', you may let it fade and not go back. If you feel a need to beat yourself up, there may be something for you to reflect on there. Share what you do with those who are interested. Maybe one of them will enjoy the same exercises or want to join you. Nothing wrong with taking a break if you need to or want to or just have too much going on. If it's fun and feels good while you're doing it and feels good when you stop, you'll do it again, no worries, no guilt, no pressure. So, whatever it is, make sure above all that it's fun, something you look forward to every day. |

I never thought I'd be where I'm at today from where I started from after my accident 7 years ago. I thought I was kaput for sure rolled up like pastry & being told incidentally that the jaws of life operator was on his way in heavy Cairo traffic. (I'm glad he rode in on his vespa!) I felt like Humpty Dumpty being put back together again. Everything was cracked except my neck. I had several embolisms & a nasty bone infection to the point they seriously discussed amputation. I thought I was permanently disabled & screwed at any semblance of carrying on a normal life again. My wife & the medical consultant she found both weaned success out of a disaster & I was their recipient beneficiary. There were many times I was ready to throw up my hands but better people then I mentored me along the way to success. I learned that there are endless possibilities limited only by ones imagination & consummate knowledge. U only have to seek the answer & then sort it out. The presiding consultant clearly demonstrated those aspects & I've never forgotten them. These days, I see solutions or ways to ameliorate a problem. Aut inveniam viam aut faciam. Mark Twain once said that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. I found mine albeit late in life. Failure or intransigence are not viable options. They are only more roadblocks. I think success at anything including the metaphysical as well as the physical is a proper attitude. However, if attitude was all it took then we'd all be famous. Right? So, once you've cultivated the correct attitude(s), the rest are just moves. I'm always finding ways to train around injuries or maintain physical homeostasis by way of ergogenics. The training or diet protocol isn't nearly as important as the consistency, flexibility & tenacity of application. They are absolute essentials. Nothing erstwhile can be accomplished without them (just ask michael or pierinifitness). Well done mox ! |

What a marvelous idea, Bruv  Michael, as I understand it, your everyday work revolves around trees and timber, so it's gotta be pretty tough at the best of times. Would it really be such a bad thing to "fall off" your training regimen now and then, just to give yourself a break and freshen up a bit ? That is a marvelous idea by Bruv  Macky for myself, I have no problem with the training. It actually takes away work soreness and helps my body feel good. I know my body pretty good by now in which I just dial it back when need be. If I fall of the wagon it would be more nutrition wise. There could be days where I could eat non-stop after a days work,  . |
